Bindu

Bindu is right up by the border with Bhutan, which we were able to cross briefly by the dam on the Jaldhaka River. Pleasant accommodation available, but despite the Hydroelectric project and the fast flowing river, water and electric supply was a bit unreliable. Birding on the road to and around the village ok.

Selected sightings: Blue-throated Barbet, Dollarbird, Green-billed Malkoha, White-rumped Shama, Lesser Coucal and Rufous-necked Laughingthrush.
